Nearly eight years separate fans of Tamar Braxton (affectionately called #Tamartians) from her last studio album, 2017’s ‘Bluebird of Happiness,’ but the wait for its successor is finally about to be over.

Braxton has spent no shortage of time over the last year teasing the forthcoming new effort, but she sent her patient fans into a frenzy during her recent visit to ‘Sherri‘ when she revealed the actual release date of the long-awaited LP.

“It is definitely coming. It’s coming out on April 11,” she shared as the audience applauded.

Later taking to social media to trumpet the set’s arrival, Tamar confirmed legendary songwriter-producer Tricky Stewart was at the helm of the project.

“Tricky Stewart [produced] the whole thing,” she told her 1.7 million followers on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday (March 29).

At writing, Braxton has not confirmed if a new single will precede the album’s release.

What is confirmed, however, is the upcoming ‘October Nights: Calling All Lovers Tour‘ – a co-headlining jaunt with fellow GRAMMY nominee October London.

Tapping ‘Permission‘ singer Ro James to support, the Stateside trek is slated to launch in Norfolk on April 17 before venturing to major markets like Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York, and more ahead of wrapping up in Oakland on May 31.
